Development Process

Here’s exactly what happens, from first conversation to launch and beyond — the detailed version of the process, step by step.

  1. Initial consultation

    A conversation about what you need, the problem you're solving, and what success looks like for the project.

  2. Requirement analysis

    Turning that conversation into a written scope: pages, features, data, and any third-party integrations required.

  3. Scope and quotation

    A defined scope and a quote specific to your project, provided through the quotation form — not a generic rate card.

  4. Agreement and advance payment

    Once the scope and quote are agreed, a signed agreement and an advance payment secure your project's place before development begins.

  5. Research and planning

    Choosing the right architecture and technical approach for what's being built, informed by the confirmed requirements.

  6. Wireframe creation

    Low-fidelity layouts establishing structure and flow before visual design starts, so the shape of each page is agreed early.

  7. UI/UX design

    Full visual design aligned to your brand and the site's design system, reviewed with you before development starts.

  8. Frontend development

    Building the interface — every page and interaction — following the agreed designs and the project's accessibility and performance standards.

  9. Backend development

    Building the API, database structure, and any integrations the project needs, in parallel with or following frontend work.

  10. Testing

    Manual checks across devices, browsers and themes, plus accessibility and automated tests, before anything is presented for review.

  11. Client review

    A chance to review the working build against the agreed scope before it goes live, with feedback addressed before deployment.

  12. Deployment

    Released to production with monitoring in place, so problems are caught early rather than reported by users.

  13. Handover

    Access, credentials, and documentation handed over so the project is genuinely yours to run — not dependent on anyone else to operate.

  14. Maintenance and support

    Available afterwards for fixes, updates, and dependency maintenance — see the maintenance and support service.
